What Is a SEPPES High Speed Roll-Up Door?
The SEPPES High Speed Roll-Up Door, also known as a PVC high speed door or rapid roll door, is an industrial door designed for factory and warehouse passages that require frequent and fast opening and closing.
SEPPES markets this product as the Smart-Start Series. Compared with conventional metal roller shutter doors, the main purpose of a high speed roll-up door is not only to close an opening, but also to reduce the amount of time that the doorway remains open.
This makes it particularly useful in facilities where temperature control, dust control, production efficiency and frequent forklift traffic are important.
According to the SEPPES catalogue, high speed roll-up doors can reach operating speeds of approximately 1.0–2.0 m/s, depending on configuration.
SEPPES High Speed Roll-Up Door Main Features
SEPPES door uses a flexible high-strength PVC curtain combined with an industrial drive and control system.
SEPPES offers several frame configurations, including:
- Powder-coated galvanized steel
- SUS304 stainless steel
- Aluminum alloy
The sealing system uses side sealing brushes, a U-shaped bottom structure and an integrated top cover to help reduce airflow, dust and insects passing through the doorway.
A visual HMI control interface can display operating conditions and fault information, helping maintenance personnel identify problems more quickly.
SEPPES Safety Options
Industrial passages often carry forklifts, workers and material-handling vehicles at the same time, so safety sensing is important.
SEPPES high speed doors can use infrared photocells for obstacle detection. Depending on the project, additional safety devices such as a flexible safety bottom edge or light curtain can also be configured.
When an obstacle is detected while the door is closing, the control system can stop or reverse the curtain.
Automatic Opening Methods
The door can work with several activation methods, including:
- Radar sensor
- Ground loop detector
- Pull cord switch
- Remote control
- Wireless switch
- Access control
- Equipment signals
- Interlocking systems
The catalogue also shows applications involving production-line interlocking, freight elevators and automated equipment.
